First and foremost, a huge thank you to all of the active members on this forum. This community has made the world of difference in enabling me to wrap my head around the multitude of vaping options - and it supplies a daily dose of hope in the form of other's tales of hitting the stinkies on the head. Thank you, all!
I've been vaping for 12 days. Bought a Blu kit two years ago but I'm not counting that as it was completely ineffective. This time I researched these forums decided not to mess around. Ordered a Provari and eGo Twist. Vivi Novas and Mini Novas. Various liquids: but primarily vaping on Halo's Tribeca in various strengths (24mg for the first of the day - or moments of struggling... 18 as a middle ground... 6 to dilute the 18 in the evenings.) The other flavor I've found that I like is Voodoo's Sweet Apple. Of course, I've purchased the obligatory multitude of other flavors I never intend to vape again - why do they taste alright in the B&M store? But these two main juices have me covered.
Week 1. Smoked 4 analogues. Drank a whole lot of water. It seemed too easy. Happiness. Joy, even. A skip in my step thinking it was all done and dusted. I immediately preferred vaping and really only smoked the last 2 analogues that week because i couldn't believe vaping was as effective a solution as it seemed. As soon as I started hitting those stinkies, I found them unsatisfying with a throat hit that paled in comparison to the provari's vape. Goodbye, analogues.
Then, 3 days after my last analogue, I began getting depression and withdrawal symptoms from tobacco. The kind of depression that's conducive only to staying in bed all day and being grouchy and giving up on the world outside. Alas, I have work to do and a deadline to meet and thus need to focus, not lie in bed. So this week I've had 3 stinkies in total. Just to keep the wheels spinning. I've enjoyed not a single one. But they did stave off the demons.
I read up on WTA eliquids and figured these are worth exploring as a possible solution to the blues. Ordered some from Aroma that should be here tomorrow. Please be here tomorrow. Maybe they'll scratch the itch that isn't coming from the nicotine. Maybe not. I'll report back either way incase someone's in the same boat as me.
Right now, nothing's helping me feel on top of my game. I'm struggling to get this job done. Normally I'm incredibly focused when I work. Fast and efficient. Right now, I'm moving through a thick pea soup of mental sludge, squinting to see a target on a wall that's surrounded by fog.
Once this job is done I'm tempted to just get into bed and sleep two weeks away while my body sweats this out and goes through the lows. Can I afford to not work for two weeks? Nope. But I want this done. I'm not going back.
Arghhh... damn those 3999 other chemicals. So tough to isolate which one I'm missing.
Any help, much appreciated. Otherwise, maybe this thread will be of some use to someone going through the same thing in the future... status to be updated.
Thanks to everyone, again.
